GRILLED CILANTRO-LIME SCALLOPS WITH ZUCCHINI AND COUSCOUS
Aleppo pepper, also known as a Halaby pepper, is named after a city in northern Syria that is famous for its chiles. These pepper flakes have a mild, almost tangy flavor and are about half as spicy as most chile flakes. Combined with lime, cilantro and garlic, the Aleppo pepper really shines slathered over scallops and zucchini before they are grilled. The bright, herby, tangy sauce for this recipe acts as a marinade for the scallops and vegetables, a dressing for the couscous and a finishing sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the couscous and cook, stirring a few times, until starting to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the couscous is softened, and the liquid has been absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, Aleppo pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the remaining 2/3 cup olive oil to a food processor and process until smooth and vibrant green. Reserve 1/3 cup and pour the rest into a large bowl.
- Add the zucchini and the yellow squash to the bowl and toss to coat with the sauce. Thread 7 to 8 pieces, alternating between zucchini and yellow squash, onto each of 4 skewers, threading them so the slices will lay flat on the grill. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the scallops to the bowl and toss with the marinade. Set aside while you grill the vegetables.
- Grill the vegetables until grill marks appear on the underside and the vegetables begin to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and grill until the vegetables are cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, thread 4 scallops each onto 4 skewers so that the scallops lay flat. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the scallops are just firm to touch and opaque in the center, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir 3 tablespoons of the reserved cilantro-lime sauce into the couscous and spoon the couscous onto a platter. Place the vegetable and scallop skewers on top and garnish with lime zest and Aleppo pepper. Serve with the remaining cilantro-lime sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; add the chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, turning the chicken occasionally.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cilantro and garlic, cook and stir 1 minute. Pour in the wine, chicken broth, and 2 tablespoons lime juice, and return to a simmer. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the sauce pan and stir in the cream and green onions; bring to a boil and remove from heat.
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- Drain well and transfer linguine to a large mixing bowl; add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the Parmesan cheese, and the quartered cherry tomatoes; toss until the pasta is evenly coated in oil.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts, turning once, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Meanwhile, lie the zucchini on a baking sheet and coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil with a pastry brush. Place zucchini on middle rack in the oven, and bake, turning every 5 minutes, until nicely browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Return Cilantro Cream sauce to the stovetop and re-heat.
- Lie the zucchini pieces side by side on a serving platter; lie the chicken breasts on the zucchini; pour the cilantro cream sauce over the chicken. Serve with the pasta on the side.
- If there is some extra sauce, toss it into the pasta -- it's delicious! I found I had pasta left over, so I just re-heated it for lunch the next day :).
